* The log writer background process posts the log file parallel write wait event, not a server process. The closest a server process will get to directly feeling the log file parallel write wait is when posting a log file sync or log buffer space wait events.

Therefore, when using a report similar to Figure 8-17, a Statspack, or an AWR report, you should look for the highest elapsed time DML SQL.

The report shown in Figure 8-17 is a stripped-down version of Oracle's OSM topdml.sql report. There are many other columns of useful information that could be added to help identify the offending SQL and locate its application source. Identifying where in the application the SQL occurs is the first step in determining if the SQL statement itself, its application area, or its execution rate can be altered to reduce redo creation.
